Hi Guys.

What does the blindness ability to see and interpret colour have to do with accessible gaming? I joined a list to discuss accessibility in different games and audio games etc., not to see reams and reams of messages about whether a blind person can understand different colours in context. For someone who has never seen, colours are just words to me. They have no meaning, they might as well be numbers or letters. If we could bring this discussion to a close then I for one would be grateful.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Its not just the colour association with real life you have to factor in,
sean.  It's the matter of colours are also words - so technically in another
way you could think of it as word matching.  Since I've never seen colour, a
lot of people think I don't know what colours are, but everyone is taught
from an early age to map colours in their head (through primary/elementary
school and prior to).  So blind peoples minds work differently but apply
similar mental processing.  If you wish to discuss this with me in a more
convenient manner then that would be fine.

Hi Raul,

Very true. As someone who lost his sight later in life I obviously
know what red, blue, green, yellow, etc look like. A game involving
colors wouldn't be meaningless to me personally.

Hi, colors are not meaningless to all blind people. Just saying.
